Dear It's been a looooong winter - but spring is definitely in the air! What makes us at the New York office of swissnex Boston so certain of that? Birdly does! This amazing project from Zurich University of the Arts is about to land at the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI). Birdly will allow you to fly over Manhattan like a - yes, you guessed it - bird! But that's only the tip of the (thankfully melting) iceberg, as there is much more in the swissnex pipeline for the upcoming months.
Thank you for your ongoing support and interest! The Team at the swissnex Boston New York Outpost
